Charming family restaurant with an extensive menu. the lobster was ok (should have asked if it is frozen or fresh) but save room for the strawberry shortcake!

Island Sunset along the Cabot Trail offers a mixed bag of experiences according to reviewer feedback. While the lobster dishes receive mixed reviews with some suggesting pre-ordering for a better experience, other seafood options like salmon and scallops are described as fresh and delicious. Spectacular views and friendly service are consistent positives. The lobster shack nearby offers huge lobsters at a great price, a must-try for seafood lovers. The cozy interior, delicious chowder, and helpful staff make it a popular stop for those looking to enjoy fresh lobster during their trip. Overall, Island Sunset provides a satisfying dining option with stunning views and a diverse menu for those exploring the area.
